I am SO, SO, SO pleased with Grace!!!! I haven't changed the title to my blog as I never really thought that Grace would make a dressage horse, but now I think that I should!

We had our third ridden schooling session today and I can't believe how quickly she is tuning into me and understanding what I am trying to achive. We have just started to try some ridden lateral work and it is making the world of difference to her balance, softness and attentiveness. She has always been rather impatient and tends to rush everything, and is just starting to slow down, wait for me and use her body in a more contolled way.

I have LOTS of pics from today, beginning in typical Gracie style; paying no attention to her rider and admiring the scenery (her nose looks a bit fuzzy because she is a slight headshaker and wears a nosenet):
